Styro roofing system

ABSTRACT

Styro Roofing System is an all in one roofing and partitioning system that eliminates the use of plywood sheeting, insulation, tarpaper, flashing, shingles, guttering and partitioning like sheet rock. The system is profitable in that it is lighter, reduces the manpower to install, cost less and above all last a lifetime. 
     Styro Roofing System is prepared using plastic and foam. There is a grid and rigid plastic sheeting which is one mold, foam, mesh and a clay base cement finish. There are three types of panels, the gutter panel, the sheeting panel and the partition panel. 
     The grid acts as conventional plywood sheeting and is drilled directly to the roof rafters.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a roofing system that goes directly onrafters and more particularly, to a system that can be used for interiorpartitioning.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional roofing system which uses plywood, felt, tarpaper, dripcaps face many problems relating to flashing, weathering, wind damage,improper design and the lack of maintenance. Often, the rooftop is usedas a platform for all types of mechanical equipment, ladder struts,antennas, flagpoles, signs and bracing.

Additionally the interior partitioning which is generally sheetrock doesnot have a finish surface and does not offer temperature control andsound proofing.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a roofing systemthat is applied directly to roof rafters

It is another object of the invention to reduce the cost of aconventional roof.

It is another object of the invention to eliminate the use of plywoodsheeting in conventional roofing.

It is another object of the invention to eliminate the use of tarpapernow used in conventional roofing.

It is another object of the invention to eliminate the use of shinglesnow used in conventional roofing

It is another object of the invention to provide an all in one gutteringin conventional roofing.

It is another object of the invention to provide a finish, texturematching and more decorative fascia (facia) board. It is another objectof the invention to provide a finish, texture matching and moredecorative eaves (boxing).

It is another object of the invention to provide a more cost effectiveand decorative partitioning for buildings.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a roofingsystem with three sets of panels, a gutter panel, a sheeting panel andpartitioning panel. The panels consist of a clay base finish, plasticmesh, Styrofoam with interlocking male and female joints, a rigidsheeting and a plastic grid. The rigid sheeting and plastic gridreplaces the use of plywood on conventional roofing thus providing themain strength and support for weight. The rigid sheeting and plasticgrid is all one mold. The plastic grid, which is 1 inch thick, ispositioned 1 foot apart (12″×12″) horizontally and vertically. This isso when applying to roof rafter screws will go through the plastic grid.The rigid sheeting which is ⅛ of an inch thick, is positioned 1 inchapart (4″×4″) horizontally and vertically. This provides solidity,firmness and flexibility should cutting of any part of the panel becomesnecessary. The panels can be to any size, shape or color.

In accordance with the present invention and as a result of its cementfinish surface, foam which has temperature, acoustic and durablesignificance, and mold comprising of the rigid sheeting and plastic gridthus providing strength, the product can be applied directly to studsfor partitioning.

Styro Roofing System is both a form of roofing and partitioning thateliminates the use of plywood sheeting, insulation, tarpaper, flashing,shingles, guttering and partitioning like sheet rock. The system isprofitable in that it is lighter, reduces the manpower to install, costless and above all last a lifetime.

Thus, in summary, Styro Roofing System is an all in one roofing andpartitioning system that eliminates the use of plywood sheeting,insulation, tarpaper, flashing, shingles, guttering and partitioninglike sheet rock. The system is profitable in that it is lighter, reducesthe manpower to install, cost less and above all last a lifetime.

Starting with the gutter panel which acts as a gutter. This is drilledinto the rafters 20 to the ends of the roof where one would like to havea gutter. After completing the gutter panels the sheeting panels arethen use by fitting with their sockets and slots tightly together anddrilled directly into the rafters 20 until the entire roof is covered.

The panels are joined together using sockets and slots joints. A sealantis set to prevent leakage. Then a thin layer of clay base cement finish10 is applied where the panels join together. This is allowed to setupuntil becomes firm. A nylon knitted tape is then placed on the clay basecement finish 10 to prevent cracks and further avoid leaks. Finally asecond application of clay base finish is applied.

Since Styro Roofing System is made of medium density foam 14 it acts asan insulator thus eliminating the need for further insulation.Additionally and to provide more decorative characteristic the faciaboard 28 and eaves 30 (boxing) are made from the styro roofing system.

Since other modifications and changes varied to fit particular operatingrequirements and environments will be apparent to those skilled in theart, the invention is not considered limited to the example chosen forpurposes of disclosure, and covers all changes and modifications whichdo not constitute departures from the true spirit and scope of thisinvention.
